Rated 5 out of 5 by Bizzkit52 Only Pill That Works
Very expensive, but my dog no longer spends hours licking and scratching himself. He had terrible allergies and was so miserable that it was hard to watch. Now he is back to being a bouncy and happy dog.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Reese Pros and cons
Atopica seems to work to help my dogs allergies minimizing his biting and scratching.
What I don't like about this medicine, is that it is so expensive and I can't understand why pet medication is so much more expensive then human medicine??

Rated 4 out of 5 by Erica123 This product helped me a lot.
My little Frenchie has terrible allergies. We tried everything and nothing really helped. So our doctor turned us on to Atopica. And now she gets her shots twice a week plus the Atopica every other day and she never looked better. I would recommend this to anyone whose pet has severe allergies.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pippa12 DEFINITELY WORKS !!!
I have a Jack Russell, rescue girl, had been treating her both with tradicional and chinese medicines, which were working some days better than others, but also a bath every 3 days for the last 2 years!! Finally, I started her on ATOPICA two months ago.....keep the pills in the fridge, no side effects, no vomiting or diarrhea....she takes one 25 mg every day, and no more scratching, IT WORKS!!! She still in on her chinese medicine pills, as a suplement, but I am very pleased with ATOPICA.

I did not see much difference when used alone. However using with ketaconazole (pill) and douxo chlorhexidine mousse (on paws) all is well.

This is a god product for a pet that has allergies. It would be great if they did not need it, but some have allergies severe enough they have to have medicine to function.
